I started a new blog where I've posted most of my sketches.I'll be adding to this blog when I have sketches to share with youI do design sketches for a few scrapbook sites which I've added and I've also added a download for you ! ENJOY!

Well on Monday I was going to be active in my A Week In the Life Challenge..That lasted a day and a half!I did manage to take a few pictures .. and really enjoyed the process but after awhile I just seemed to forget about taking pics .. maybe another week i'll be able to complete a 7 day journal.

Here are a few to share with you --

Me .. on Tuesday I just bought a new scarf and really enjoy wearing it.. it's kind of a safety blanket or to hide my boobs!It's also unedited!I have a zit and my eyebrows need waxing ;-) i do like my new haircut ... i can wear it curly or straigth.

The Weather ... In Celsius not Fahrenheit!

My box of goodies arrived from my favorite Scrap Store! I am in love with these papers and hopefully in the next day or two i'll be able to enjoy them! Included in this... the new Girls Paperie !!! BEAUTIFUL!

Another Picture of me on Monday .Playing in the mirror trying to get some sort of a shot of me and my camera.

Our Dear kitty enjoying nap tap on our bed. He's so comfy there with the sun shinning on him.

My facebook page!I am on the computer way too much.

The recycle bag. Our Plastics, Metal and Milk jugs. We really do recycle quite a bit. We have about 1 -2 bags of plastics per week. We also recycle paper and cardboard as well as all my scrapbook scraps/ plastics etc. We also compost our food scraps, leaves and garden stuff.

I did end up working 1 overnight shift out of 3. Thursday I got an earlier shift which was nice but Friday I did work 930pm-530am. It was good at work, nice and quit in the office but at about 4am my brain stopped. I started a migraine and was a hurting unit till about 4-5 pm on Saturday. I called in Sick for Saturday Night and went to bed at about 10pm.

Sunday was a nice sunny day. Steve and I enjoyed some gardening and a Bud Light Lime on our Adirondack chairs. Something we enjoy immensely! We have great conversation, watch our kitty play in the grass and garden and listen to the birds.

Steve started a new job this week. He's traveling to and from Moncton for training ( about 1hr15min twice a day. It's something he's really not use to but it's only for the next 2 weeks.) After which the new store opens here in Saint John. He's so happy and excited to be on this new venture and so am I.

To end the week I completed another blog banner.Not sure if i like it but i will leave it there for 24 hour and then decide ;-)

Well yesterday was a good day for my Week In the Life Challenge. I took about 106 pictures. Some were so so and others were okay. Photos of stuff I would never consider taking .. such as our recycling bins, my coffee cup, and even myself with a camera!

Today was a different story. I took about 25 photos and took a nap! It was a lazy day for me today as I am getting ready for my overnight shifts I feel shitty! Really? I am too old and lazy to stay up all night .... The only time I would even consider staying up all night ( or Atleast till 2am) would be when I'm scrappin... so this has me all in a tuff! .. Sigh!Anyhow, I did take some pictures and probably will be scrappin them but to finish this Week In the Life Challenge... might be another story... We shall see.

I leave you with a photo of my cute Kitty !He's so photogenic! Loves the Camera.. and would you believe me if i said every time he hears the camera click he changes his head position !!! Like a little kitty SuperModel! hahahah!!!!

Yes I had to create this page with my precious little kitty Eddie. He really didn't want his photo taken but Steve managed to squeeze one in. His face kind of says "Ok I'm here, now Hurry!" Too sweet! I love my kitty ;-)

I had a wonderful day with hubby today and I was a bit tired when we got home from errands. I fell asleep on the couch for 2 hours and woke up with a migraine. I wish it would just go away!I am trying to do fun stuff and just browse online while massaging my temples... this isn't what i planned tonight... sigh!

I wanted to share a layout with you that i finished on Monday night.. using Jillibean Soup papers.it's a photo of hubby and i this past march enjoying the Spring Sunshine!

The quote says:If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive. ~Eleonora Duse

It's been such a busy week, I had to work 7am -330pm shifts which means I had a wake up call of 530am.... Usually at 530am I am snoring and dreaming of something wacky and weird, so you can image what that meant for me. I found a new " love " ... a Large Coffee with 1/2 hot chocolate... oh so yummy and certainly helped me get a bit of energy this week ;-)

So last night I took out some new papers from Cosmo Cricket, a picture of my niece that I copied off her facebook account (which her mom said it was okay!) and created a page called" Sew Cute "

Would you believe the yellow flower comes from the 1$ store?! Yes, they had quite a few other colors in stock and 12 to a package!!! I love good finds ;-)
